Chasing a leak, looking for ideas. 2004 Sea Breeze. I have a small leak showing up in front of the passenger seat in the very front outside corner. very small area. Roof seal looks good, side window seal looks good. The rubber around the windshield is cracked...Looking for ideas,
thanks Don

Have you checked around the awning? How about other fixtures on that side of the roof? How about marker lights?

I had not thought about the marker lights, great idea.. i will use some rv caulk around them.. I think everything on top is good, except the shower skylight. i bought eternabond for that, now I just need a dry day to fix it..
thanks

You might also check the TV antenna base. The coax cable enters the roof through a rubber grommet. You might have lost the seal around the grommet letting water in. Even though it is not directly over where your leak showed up on your floor it might have traveled through your roof area. Water can travel in mysterious ways. A couple years ago I observed all the sealant around my windows and roof mounted fixtures to be cracking. I've applied new caulking to everything. I used Dicor Lap Sealant. On flat surfaces I used the self leveling and around the windows I used the non-leveling sealant. You can buy it at Camping World. I've been lucky and have had no leaks.

I had the same leak issue in front area. Turned out to be 1) antenna grommet mentioned by Kennerson 2) window seal (hard job see my other post) 3) was a leak between front cap and roof, mine looked fine also to the eye but none the less a pin size leak was there and gone after I removed all the calk, cleaned good, and resealed.

You don't have an after-market CB antenna do you? We had a leak around the cable entrance.

Ok I have my to do list. Now I just need the time and dry weather in Oregon.. Marker lights, Cb and TV antenna wire, and front cap. Front cap looks good but I will reinspect that.
Thanks all, Don
